Borrowed DP's Ipad the other day, as my laptop was dead. Clicked on email as I was assuming it was our shared account, however it was his own account.
Glancing down the inbox I realised he's been emailing his ex quite a lot, which initially didn't bother me as she lives overseas and I don't see her as a threat. However, I realised that they refer to each other with 'pet' or nicknames (Sir, ma'am pear drop), which I find a bit odd, especially as in all the 13 years we've been together has has never called me anything other than my given name. No 'darling', 'sweetheart' etc that he uses with DCs.
No terms of endearment have always been a bit of a sore point for me and he's not a very demonstrative person anyway. But in his emails he is far more loving and supportive than he has ever been to me.
Starting to feel that the last 13 years of my life have been a bit of a farce.
